I've sort of abandoned this project because I'm way more excited about the dystopian fiction I'm working on now. But I thought I'd share it here because I'm not sure if it'll ever make it any farther than this, and I just love this segment. Jack's voice has a special place in my heart.

“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”

“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”

I searched to find a group specifically created for writers to post excerpts from their books, either those in publication or those still in progress,I searched to find a group specifically created for writers to post excerpts from their books, either those in publication or those still in progress, but was unable to find one. So I decided to create it myself and to get the ball rolling I'll post 3 excerpts, one from my novella Feeding the Squirrels, one from my novel Patches of Grey, and one from the novel I'm currently working on - Matters of Convenience. Hopefully many more excerpts (all varieties of fiction, non-fiction prose, and poetry) from a diverse selection of authors will follow. I look forward to reading them as I'm sure many others here at GoodReads will as well. Feedback for the posters, particularly in the form of honest compliments, is of course welcomed....more
